To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much was paid in corporation tax by businesses registered in Wrexham constituency in the last year for which figures are available; and what proportion of such taxation was paid by small and medium-sized enterprises.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how much was paid in corporation tax by businesses registered in Wrexham constituency in the last year for which figures are available; and what proportion of such taxation was paid by small and medium-sized enterprises.
The amount of corporation tax liable for payment by businesses with a registered address in the Wrexham parliamentary constituency for accounting periods ending in financial year 2011-12 was £15 million. This is the latest year for which figures are available.
Figures on the amount of tax paid, broken down by company size, are not readily available and could be provided only at disproportionate cost. HMRC does hold information on corporation tax liability by the rates at which corporation tax is charged on companies’ chargeable profits. However, we are unable to disclose the proportionate breakdowns for Wrexham, as this would be a breach to HMRC’s statistical disclosure control policy to protect taxpayer confidentiality.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many (a) higher rate taxpayers and (b) people who earn over £1 million there were in Wrexham constituency in the last year for which figures are available.
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer how many (a) higher rate taxpayers and (b) people who earn over £1 million there were in Wrexham constituency in the last year for which figures are available.
It is estimated that 3,000 individuals in the Wrexham constituency were higher rate taxpayers where the higher rate of income tax was their highest marginal rate for 2011-12.
Reliable estimates for individuals with total income over £1 million in the Wrexham constituency are not available due to small sample sizes.
Estimates are based on Survey of Personal Incomes (SPI) data for 2011-12.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much has been spent on preliminary work associated with the building of a new prison in Wrexham to date.
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice how much has been spent on preliminary work associated with the building of a new prison in Wrexham to date.
The Department has spent c. £505,000 on the preliminary work associated with the building of a new prison in Wrexham. This is a responsible and proportionate amount of preparation for a £250 million project, and includes the cost of the design, surveys, preparation and planning, all of which are essential requirements for a project of this size. Internal costs, such as staff time associated solely with the building of the new prison at Wrexham, are not held separately and could, therefore, be provided only at disproportionate cost.
We need a fit for purpose, modern prison estate that provides affordable, modern prison accommodation in the right places to deliver our ambition of reducing
reoffending. That is why we are replacing older prisons across the estate with newer, more efficient, accommodation at a much lower cost.
This new prison will be a huge boost for the regional economy, with the creation of around 1,000 jobs and an estimated £23 million per year for the area. We will also hold prisoners close to their homes, which we know helps prevent reoffending.

The table shows the number of people aged 50 to 59, 60 and over and 50 and over who were claiming Jobseeker's Allowance in January 2014 resident in the requested geographies.
National and local area estimates for many labour market statistics, including employment, unemployment and claimant count are available on the NOMIS website at:

Letter from Glen Watson:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics, I have been asked to reply to your recent Parliamentary Questions asking the Minister for the Cabinet Office, what change there has been in median gross weekly earnings for (a) men and (b) women in Wrexham constituency since 2010(191138) and what change there has been in median gross pay for women in Wrexham constituency since 2010.(191115)
The Annual Survey of Hours and Earnings (ASHE), carried out in April each year, is the most comprehensive source of earnings information in the United Kingdom. Weekly levels of earnings are estimated from ASHE, and are provided for employees on adult rates of pay, whose earnings for the survey pay period were not affected by absence. Figures relate to employee jobs, which are defined as those held by employees and not the self-employed. I attach a table showing estimates of median gross weekly earnings for employees in Wrexham constituency from 2010 to 2013, the latest period for which results are available. Figures are provided for male employees and female employees.
In order to account for a discontinuity in the series in 2011, percentage changes between 2010 and 2013 were calculated by compounding growth rates between individual years. Consequently, the percentage changes shown in the table do not correspond precisely to the actual percentage differences between the 2010 and 2013 earnings estimates.

Employee jobs are defined as those held by employees and not the
self-employed. Figures relate to employees on adult rates whose pay for
the survey pay-period was not affected by absence. ASHE is based on a
1% sample of jobs taken from HM Revenue and Customs' Pay As You Earn
(PAYE) records. Consequently, individuals with more than one job may
appear in the sample more than once. 2 2011 results based on Standard Occupational Classification 2000. 3 2011 results based on Standard Occupational Classification 2010. 4 Estimates for years prior to 2011 are based on SOC 2000 and estimates for years after 2011 are based on SOC 2010. Figures are only considered to be directly comparable if they are based on the same SOC. 5 In order to account for the series discontinuity, percentage changes between 2010 and 2013 were calculated by compounding growth rates between individual years. Consequently, the percentage changes shown in the table do not correspond precisely to the actual percentage differences between the 2010 and 2013 earnings estimates. Guide to quality: The coefficient of variation (CV) indicates the quality of a figure; the smaller the CV value, the higher the quality. The true value is likely to lie within +/- twice the CV—for example, for an average of 200 with a CV of 5%, we would expect the population average to be within the range 180 to 220.

Letter from Glen Watson, dated March 2014:
As Director General for the Office for National Statistics (ONS), I have been asked to reply to your Parliamentary Question to the Minister for the Cabinet Office asking what recent estimate he has made of the number of children living in households in Wrexham constituency where one or both parents are (a) working part-time because they are unable to find full-time work and (b) employed on a zero-hours contract. (191112)
The Office for National Statistics compiles statistics for people working in part-time jobs because they could not find a full time post from the Labour Force Survey (LFS). However, estimates of the number of children living in households where one or both parents are working part-time because they are unable to find full-time work for the requested geography is not available due to small sample sizes.
Estimates relating to zero-hour contracts are also available from the LFS; however, full estimates of the total number of people in employment on such contracts are not available from this source. This is, in part, due to reporting error as respondents may fail to identify their type of employment contract correctly. Therefore we have not been able to state how many children are living in households where one or both parents are working on zero hour contracts in Wrexham constituency.

Table 1 as follows contains estimates of the number employed in businesses considered to be part of industries involved in commerce for Wrexham constituency, Wales and the UK in 2012, the most recent year that figures are available.
